HERCHIMER & HUT]-ON STRUCK BY A TRAIN Who Has Travelled Twice Around
Tribute to Mrs. Kruger.
lv- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ __
Yesterday THE GUARDIAN published an
.interview with two soldiers who had
lfought and bled at Paardeberg. This
"morning we are enabled to give the
opinion of a prominent American Lawyer
and Journalist who arrived in the city cn
Monday night by the Duchesse. When
waited upon at the Revere Hotel our
reporter was given a cordial reception and
he said that he was always happy to meet
the representatives of the press.
In conversation Mr. `;Be1l said that he
ent occasions and had visited HongKo:1g,
India ‘and Australia and while in the
lattercountry he visited and spent some
time in all the leading cities.
BRITISH FLAG DENOTES FREEDOM.
Mr. Bell said that he was a loyal Ameri- ,
can, but at the same time he had the
greatest admiration for Britain’s colonial
Gt v ernmentsand for the home Government
as well. In his travels- he was impressed
with the fact that wherever the British
flag is found there is freedom and liberty
in the truest sense of the word. Owing to
early teaching by history and in the
schools sonrewhat of a prejudice is creat-
ed,hut as one goes abroad all that idea
vanishes. _'He believed that if crest Bri-
tain and the United States were allied
they would form a power that could do
aboutyas they liked. Speaking of the fred
that he was very much  _ Solllo

There were men lecturrngand giving ut-
terance to all kinds -bf stun, but they
were allowed to talk unmolestcd. Suchia
thing could not hapi en in New York
City. It would not be allowed _by the
authorities. '
A BOER SYMPATHIZER AT ONE TIME. -
In 1se:sMr.Reil went to south Africa
and when he arrived there he was a Boer
sympathizer, but he hadinot landed long
when~he changed his mind. In fact he
was only there six weeks when he chang- l
i ed his opinion. A study will soon disclose
that there is very little to be said in favor i
of the Boers. They area base class of l
people. Not degenerated because they l
were never anything better. The average `
Boer is a thick head, a numskull, heknows
nothing and does not amount to anything. .
'run KRUGER ADMrlvIsrRA'rIoN.
When asked about the Government Mr.
Bell said that itwas difficult to depict the I
corruptness of the administration. It
was simply beyond measure. The duties,
exacbed are enormous, for instance, duty f
to the extent of 600 per cent more is paid fl
than the gocds cost in Cape Town.
POYVERS OF THE COURTS DO NOT COUNT. ’

have to live in the country 14 years
before he would be allowed to exercise

While engaged as the private counsel of

upon Pres/ident Kruger to transact
Kruger the old man said: “I suppose you
are one of those Americans who run to
the British Consul when there is any
thing.” Mr.Bell sa.ys,howcver, that Mrs.
Kruger is anice old lady.
BOERS As EN'rER'rAINERs.
The Boers do not want to see any person
that is British. On one occasion while
driving through the country'M,`v-. Bell and
party became thirsty anduaked for water
but received “V_olsack” which does. not
mean yes. ' -
When giving hislecture in Waterbury
Mr. Bell first threw a picture of J oubert
on the screen. He afterwards placed Gen.
Buller alongside. The crowd hissed the
latter but Mr. Bell told the audience that
if they were present in the House they
would dcprecate such actionsas they were
both friends. Mr.Bell said in conclusion
“those who loved the Boers most must
know them least,” Mr. Bell has a happy
wayot narratingastory and his lecture
on Moriday will no doubt be a Success.
